At St. Joseph Orleans Dental Centre, our dentist provides root canals, ranging from simple to complex, to help save a natural tooth.
Request AppointmentA root canal is a dental procedure in which the infected tissue is removed from the inside of the affected tooth. A root canal might be necessary if a tooth has developed, or is very likely to develop, an infection in its inner soft tissue.
At St. Joseph Orleans Dental Centre, we'll begin your root canal by applying a local anaesthetic. The dentist will then proceed to remove the infected pulp from your tooth. Once the infected pulp has been completely extracted, we will apply dental material to fill in the hollow area in the tooth.
We will also typically place a dental crown over the infected tooth in order to strengthen the structure and protect the tooth from future damage.
If tooth or gum pain is plaguing you, contact your dentist immediately to schedule an appointment. In this post, our Orléans dentists explain some possible reasons for your pain and what you can do until you get to the dentist.
